Howcan I Get Rid Of Fast On My Stomach

1

Eat right, exercise:
Healthy meals, solid sleep cycle, moderate exercise most days of the week (4-5 days). You can't lose fat in just one part of your body unless you have surgery. Even with liposuction, fat can return unless you make real long-term changes to your lifestyle. Visit your dr and make a plan. Aim to spend per week 500 kcals more than you eat, = losing 1 lb per month which is a healthy goal.

Diet and Exercise:
You can't target weight loss from a specific area, but losing weight in general will help. You need to burn more calories than you consume. Watch your diet-eat healthy, cut out junk food and exercise several times a week. If your stomach is what you're unhappy with, you can tone up the muscles-sit ups are a good way to start. Anything that uses your abdominal muscles will add tone.

Depends on cause:
Many stomach aches will get better on their own with time. Gas pain, gallstone pain, reflux etc may last for 20 min to a couple hours and then resolve. Acid diseases (gastritis, gerd, ) may be temporarily relieved by Tums (calcium carbonate) etc. Any stomach ache that lasts longer than 3-4 hours or doesn't resolve with over the counter meds should be evaluated by your md.

Fat melting device:
Agree that diet and exercise are always preferred. But if you find that you have some pockets of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise, you might want to also consider liposuction or the newer safer noninvasive fat melting devices such as liposonix (the first fda approved device to melt fat without liposuction or surgery).

Systemic Rx:
Unless you are a lady who can take the oral contraceptive pill, you will probably need a systemic antibiotic plus some topical treatment (benzoyl peroxide and/or a retinoic acid derivative). This usually works; dermatologists have the big guns should you need them.

Time:
Depending on how deep the burn is, you may need to seek the assistance of a doctor in person. Deeper, larger burns may need skin grafting. Superficial burns will heal on their own, but they will take longer if they are larger. Also, if you have other conditions/habits like diabetes, PVD, or smoking, these will slow healing. The best approach is to have it examined by a doctor.

Scientific Rx:
If the illness is confined to your cheeks, topical benzoyl peroxide -- try 5% 2x/day or as you can tolerate -- will probably clear you. If not, after two weeks get with your personal physician.

Benzoyl Peroxide:
I would start with an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash like panoxyl. Be aware that benzoyl peroxide can be irritating to the skin and it can bleach dark clothing. You need to rinse if off very well in the shower. This would be a good start. If it doesn't work after 1 month, i would recommend seeing a physician.

Not occur naturally. By losing weight in general a some will probably be abdominal fat. However, we don't get to chose what area of the body the fat is lost from.

Probably surgery:
Althougj some lasers, ultrasound or radio frequency devices may claim to tighten skin, they are likely to achieve onlyodesr improvements (2-3 on a scale of 1 to 10). Surgery is likely your best option for anything other than mild laxity and the length of the scar will depend on the extent of the laxity and can extend all the way around your body if necessary.

Heart burn:
Heart burn is caused by reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. It can be mediated by positional changes (for example, don't lie down after eating), otc meds like ppi which shut off acid production, and non-spicy foods. However, this only tempers the heart burn, treatment may need to be surgical if meds fail (fundoplication).

It depends on how you've injured your knee, and what damage has resulted. If you have continued pain, swelling, or difficult motion you need to be seen by a physician.

Time 4 simethicone?:
Many antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid. Some contain simethicone that helps break up gas bubbles in your stomach. One floats on top of acid so it "coats" as the acid is refluxed. Magnesium-containing ones can promote diarrhea; calcium-containing ones can increase acid! If gas bubbles pose a frequent problem, evaluation may be key to rule out causes, including delayed stomach emptying.

Buccal Fat Rx:
Excess cheek tissue is most common from the Buccal fat compartment which can be reduced under local anesthesia through a small incision in the back of the mouth. Chubby cheeks should be treated conservatively because as we age , fat loss from the deeper areas of the face appears and is often restored with fat grafting.
